“This was a considered decision after repeated hacks,” Slash wrote in what may be his final tweet, adding that he’s shifting how he connects with fans.

$GUNS Still Exists

The hack, which occurred on April 2nd, saw posts promising a $1M investment in $GUNS to boost hype. While the tweets have been deleted, the token still exists on Pump.Fun, now worth only about $3,300.

Fans are now following Slash on other platforms, with some suggesting decentralized alternatives like Bluesky.
